NAFAS

Flower arranging clubs and societies have been joining together since 1959 with help and advice from the Royal Horticultural Society.

The main aims of NAFAS includes:

• Education: to encourage members of the general public to develop skills in floral art
• Demonstrators: NAFAS Demonstrators have a wide variety of titles and subjects for their demonstrations The aim is to be thought provoking for audiences and leaving space for flexibility of designs often influenced by nature, the time of the year or a new idea.
• Speakers: NAFAS Speakers are based in all parts of the country and give entertaining presentations on many varied subjects. Speakers add variety to your meeting, they inform, enthral, entertain, amuse, inspire, excite and captivate to give a wider and fresh slant on the Floral World.
• Judges: Whatever the size or location of a flower arranging show, NAFAS Judges are available to help. Judges are qualified at both Area and National level and are always happy to attend work nights at flower clubs to judge and give constructive comments relating to competitive work.
